Re: Definition

One, two, three

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it onto the tip-top

Best alliance in hip-hop, Y-O!

I said, one, two, three

Black Star shine eternally

We came to rock it onto the tip-top

And Hi-Tek make the beat drop, Y-O!

RE: DEFinition, turnin' your play into a tragedy

Exhibit level degree on the mic passionately

**** is sweet, o I bet if I bsit I'd get a cavity

Livin' to get high, you ain't flyer than gravity

We die hard like the battery thrown in the back of me by the mad MC who think imitation is the highest form of flattery, actually

Don't be mad at me, I had to be the one to break it to you

You get kicked into obscurity like judo

No, Menudo 'cause you pseudo

Tryin' to compete with reality like Xerox

Towards destruction you spiralin' like hair locks, wipe them teardrops

Chasin' stars in your eyes, playin' games with your lives

Now the wives is widows, soakin' up pillows, weepin' like willows

Still more blacks is dyin' 'cause they live and they tryin'

"How to Make a Slave" by Willie Lynch is still applyin'

Regardless, the Mos is one of my closest partners

Rockin' ever since before Prince was called The Artist

Rockin' before Funkmaster Flex was rockin' Starter

When 'Pac and Biggie was still cool, before they was martyrs

Life or death, if I'm choosin', with every breath I'm enhancin'

Stop, there comes a time when you can't run

What?

Lyrically handsome, call collect a king's ransom

Jams I write, soon become the ghetto anthem

Way out like Bruce Wayne's mansion

Move like a phantom

You'll talk about me to your grandsons

Cats who claimin' they hard be mad fags, so I run through 'em like flood water through sandbags

Competition is mad, what I got, they can't have

Sinkin' they ship, like Moby Dick to Ahab

Son, I'm way past the minimum

Enterin' millennium

My raps, they hold a gut to your back like Palestinians

Ancient Abyssinia

Sure to hold the Gideon, official B-boy gentlemen, long term, never the interim

Born inside the winter wind

Day after December 10

These simpletons, they mentionin' the synonym for feminine

Sweeter than some cinnamon, the Danish rings by Entenmann's

Rush up on adrenaline, they get they asses sent to them (Gentlemen)

You got a tenement? Well, then assemble it

Leave your unit tremblin' like herds of movin' elephant

Intelligent embellishment

Follow for your element from Flatbush settlement

Skin possesses melanin

Hotter than tales of crack peddlin'

Makin' 'em WOOP like blue gelatin, swing like Duke Ellington

Broader than Barrington Levy, believe me

The hot Apache red who burn down your chief teepee, you see me?

One, two, three

Mos Def and Talib Kweli

We came to rock it onto the tip-top

Best alliance in hip-hop, Y-O!

I said, one, two, three

Black Star shine eternally

We came to rock it onto the tip-top

Because we rulin' hip-hop

Yes, we is rulin' hip-hop

Talib Kweli is rulin' hip-hop

Say we Black Star, we rule hip-hop, whoa
